Last year I set my goal for 75 book. So this year I want to push myself to read 85. Having a higher reading goal keeps my reading consistent.

Last year I set my goal for 50...and missed :-( So this year I obviously upped it to 55, to send myself a message.

I try to read a book a week, last year I fell short. So 52 is my goal for this year. I've read 5 so far this year so I'm on track!

Rather than a specific number this year I am attempting to have completed the top 100 classics and the top 100 modern literature lists.

My goal is to read 1 a month. I used to read a lot more than that, but that was before kids (toddler and an infant). I am also excited to explore new authors this year, I want to branch out!

This year I am trying at minimum to read a book a week. So far so good. I am also trying out audiobooks. I've only started one, but I'm liking it so far. Really liking that I can drive and listen at the same time.

I have been using the goodreads app to keep track of books I want to read and have read. With there reading challenge I made the goal of 20 books for 2016!! Which at the time I felt like was a lot. I never enjoyed reading until now, it's a new found love. I am currently reading my 7th book already. I believe I will go past my 20 book goal!

I would love to finish the Popsugar 2016 Reading Challenge. It's composed of a list of forty different categories for which you read books in and explore different ones outside of you genre.

My goal is 12-15 books. Seeing as how i'm starting this in February - and am a full time mommy to 2. I'm going to try to add reading to my juggling list. Starting small with something realistic like 1 book a month, and we'll see where we go from there. and by books I don't mean the free 50 page 'books'.

My reading goal for 2016 is at least forty books. I've never done the challenge before but I've got such a long list of books i'm desperate to read that I have no doubts I'll make it to forty and beyond!!

I'm thinking I will set a goal of 52. Reading is my favorite hobby, but with two little girls and a full time job I'm not sure I can do more than one week!

I have a question about what qualifies as a book. I just started reading a fifty-five page booklet, and I am not sure if I can/should count it towards my reading goal. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated! :)
